Jack White's new album (Boarding House Reach) is pretty sporadic but a few standouts: Corporation, Ice Station Zebra, Connected by Love.

I haven’t listened to all of it, but man I was not a fan of what I did hear. 

And that is coming from a pretty big Jack White fan. 

Digging Caroline Rose. Courtney Marie Andrews new record is good if you're into throwback country. Has some Loretta vibes.

It’s better as a whole than my initial impression from the one time hearing the first single. I haven’t had a chance to listen to it more than once but I feel it will grow on me.

Any time 'Over and Over and Over' comes on I just completely turn off the radio. 

 

 

The Weeknd is dropping his new album tonight. Complete surprise. Should help me have good sex a few times in the near future.

the new dead meadow album is good. 

 

Amen Dunes' new record, "Freedom", is the tits. Also, new Sarah Shook and Moondoggies albums coming in the next month.

Seconded the Amen Dunes rec. Will see how if holds up after a few listens, but first time through was great. 

I've been on a Chris Stapleton kick the past month or so. I heard him on a radio station while back and started digging into his history. Pretty cool for a long time writer to get his time in the limelight.

new goat girl album is pretty good.  kicking myself for missing them at SXSW as the live show is supposed to be even better.

Other than this site (or its unnamed predecessor), where do you go for new music recommendations and reviews?  I swing by metacritic, but it’s too eclectic in terms of music genres (not sure why, but hard core bands and world music seem to universally compile better scores than every other type of music). Avclub used to be a good source but they are off their game in terms of new music reviews.  

 

I don’t really read music reviews, but honestly I just use Spotify. They have the discover weekly playlist, and many of my favorite Spotify curated playlists are updated regularly.

AWOLNATION - Handyman just popped on my discover weekly.  Enjoy it.

Tiny Mixtapes, Pitchfork.

Sometimes I use sputnikmusic as well but that site heavily favors metal.

I use albumoftheyear.org to see who released that week. they have user and critic generated releases, but i don't typically read them. i go to spotify and load anything interesting i saw on the site onto a playlist and just weed out the albums/singles from there as i listen to them.

The new John Prine album is really solid.  The middle drags a little to me, but it starts and ends damn strong. 

Car Seat Headrest is pretty incredible. Heard a couple songs in my car or at work and wasn't getting into it. Listened to it on my headphones on a flight last week and was blown away.

Lord Huron's new album just released. Giving it a listen now... 

Sleep dropped a new album today.  We can probably expect the next one to drop around 2040.

Was listening to new Dr Dog the other day. Didn't get through much but liked what I hear. Seeing them for the first time at Granada a week from Friday. I'm pretty pumped.

Big release day tomorrow...Leon Bridges, Damien Jurado, Shakey Graves, Frank Turner and Traveller (Cory Chisel, Robert Ellis, Jonny Fritz).

Seen'em quite a few times... they put on a good show. I like the new album a lot; in fact I might go as far as to say that it may be their best since Shame Shame. I had become disillusioned with them after a stretch of underwhelming albums, so glad I found myself enjoying the laid back vibes on this one.

I've also gone through the Okervil River album a few times. That guy's voice irritates me but I dug more of it than I didn't. 

One spin of Shakey Graves and I like it, don't love though.

Halfway through the full release from Middle Kids.  I enjoy their stuff.

Lately I've been on an AWOLNATION and Twin Shadow binge.

it's outrageous how good twin fantasy is. i got tickets to their 9/15 brooklyn show. can't wait. 

anyone listen to the new Leon Bridges yet?  I have the last album and its pretty good so looking at picking up the new one.

yes, it's different.  gonna take me a few more listens to decide if i like it.

I like the new Leon Bridges after my first listen. It's clear that he wanted to do some different stuff and not just make the same album again. Every now and then it doesn't work, but overall I think it's a good record.

supposedly he recorded what was more or less coming home 2.0 and decided to go a different direction - props to him for trying something new, and I agree that most seems to work, if somewhat generic in spots.

Enjoying this new Twin Shadow. 

Yeah, good feel to it.

man, too many colors sounds like erasure.  thats a great tune.

Not sure if right thread but I think these guys kick ass, sounds exactly like Zep. Don’t even have enough tunes for an album yet.

 

Lead singer is a young, little guy with a freakin huge voice

 

Greta Van Fleet
